The stark theological polarities of damnation and salvation have
haunted representations of guilt in Western culture for thousands
of years. Friedrich Ohly's classic study The Damned and the Elect,
first published in English in 1992, offers a comparative cultural
history of figures such as Oedipus, Judas and Faust, from
antiquity, through the Middle Ages, into modern times. Looking at
the works of writers such as Sophocles, Dante, Marlowe, Bunyan,
Goethe, and Thomas Mann (and illustrating his ideas with reference
to representation in the visual arts), Ohly's wide-ranging
arguments weave deftly across different cultures and periods to
illuminate one of the most salient themes in Western literature.
